A colleage of mine had a ADSL filter crap out on him randomly, so I wouldn't count that off just yet.

But as some base tests try the following:

start > run > cmd

ping -t http://www.google.com

wait a while and see if you get any packet loss

and secondly, check on your router what the sync speed is.

Repairman came over exactly at 5 *gasp*
First he checked out the modem then plugged his own diagnostic into the DSL. Then he checked the underground cable in the back of the house and disconnected the telephone line to the house and drove down the street to a main box to check something. He came back and went back to the underground cable. Told me he changed the underground cable ground to a 2nd pair and did a sync test on my computer. Everything's working perfectly and no charge since it was outside.

Spazda, glad this whole thing worked out to your spoiled, petty and perpetually entitled standards.

Fraga, use TCP port 80 or UDP port 53 and stop being such a movie-pirating whore.
